My mother used to make this for me for ages. To me, beef stroganoff meant this dish. My father and husband both love it, and request it quite often.

You can use king oyster mushrooms instead of shiitake mushrooms. Actually, I used the former in the version in the photo, since they're inexpensive.
Don't use expensive marbled beef, or it will be way too fatty! Cheap lean beef will be better and fool them all .
If you use sour cream instead of milk and lemon juice, it will be more authentically flavored. For 2 servings. Recipe by Etude

  6. 6

    Add the milk and lemon juice just before serving and mix in lightly. Warm through and it's done. Don't cook for too long after adding the milk and lemon juice.

  7. 7
